Hi, I am Steve Cannici. I am from New Jersey and I am a Secondary Education Student with a focus on Chemistry at the University of Rhode Island. I enjoy a lot of sports like football and baseball. My favorite teams are the Yankees and the New York Giants. I also like to ski, but recently I have tried snowboarding as well. I plan to move home to NJ and get a teaching job there after I graduate.
The main idea of this unit is to give kids the tools necessary to be able convert amongst atomic units and measurements. They have a nice base of prior knowledge to get them started (e.g. conservation of mass, basic mathematical skills, etc.). But, teaching about the mole, stoichiometry, atomic mass units, and other micro scale ideas are not easy concepts for most kids, or people in general, to grasp. This unit is based on several ideas in teaching to help scaffold the childrens' learning.
